Rapper Ja Rule Gets 2 Year Jail Sentence After Pleading Guilty To Attempted Weapon Possession

Ja Rule is headed to prison for two years after pleading guilty Monday to driving with a loaded gun after a 2007 concert.
"This isn't a good day, fellas," the one-time Grammy nominee said grimly as he left Manhattan Supreme Court.

The plea to attempted weapon possession in the second degree, a violent felony, came just before his trial was scheduled to start.

Ja Rule, 34, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, was busted with a loaded .40-caliber Taurus pistol inside his Maybach as he and two friends left the Beacon Theater on the upper West Side following a Lil Wayne & friends concert in July 2007.

Ja Rule faced 3 1/2 to 15 years in prison had he been convicted for the top charge in trial.
